I think I am going to sleep during the day and work at night..LOL
Some of the higher end computers,, the power settings are at a lower setting to conserve power... you might try to change to a higher power setting..
BUT,,, several of the brand name computers do not like the TND 700. The TND 500/700 USB ports are made to USB specs. The solution RM has found that will allow the TND to connect is to buy an Powered USB hub. The kind that needs to be plugged into AC.. usually about $25.
I have spend numerous hours on this and the device driver is there in Win 7, but the TND still shows up as an unknown device. The USB Power Hub cures this.
The only reason I can think of is the Powered USB Hub provides a higher voltage\current to the TND than the USB port can provide.
Thanks,
Mark

I just purchased TND 700 yesterday and I'm excited so far. I'm amazed how much easier it is to set up a multi-stop route and how many more truck stops it has in its database comparing to T465 I was using 'till now.
I have one question though. It might've been already answered here but I didn't find it.
On T465 it was easy to review the whole multi-stop route and see how many miles to each stop.
I can't find this crucial feature on TND 700. I hope I just can't find it because I can't believe RMN would leave such a basic feature out.
So if someone could point me in the right direction as to where to look, that would be greatly appreciated.
I can see only how many miles to the next stop. I NEED to see how many miles to the EACH stop or AT LEAST how many miles the whole trip.
Oh.... add me to the breadcrumbs pleaders bunch. -

I got the T5B that Rand replaced my old unit with that you checked and fluffed it works great. Thank you for all your help you were the best rep that I have worked with so far at Rand. The replacement unit arrived in 2 days just like you said it would and everything was ready to go right out of the box with no problems. Such a relief. Thank you againKimono_skunk, Gears and Mark Kling Thank this. -
